I found this place through an Instagram ad and decided to sign up for the 3 hour latte art course…read morewith Jonathan. There were 7 people in my class and half of us were home brewers and the other half were coffee professionals. I learned so much in this class! Jonathan broke down the steps of steaming the milk and pouring latte art and then we all got to practice on our own using a really fancy La Marzocco espresso machine that steamed the milk in seconds! Jonathan also provided troubleshooting tips for what to do if the milk doesn't turn out quite right, which I found helpful. The class was small enough to get a ton of practice and hands on guidance and feedback. I highly recommend this class if you're looking to learn or improve your latte art!

Boot Coffee is the preeminent coffee education campus in the country. Everything from roasting, to…read morechocolate making workshops, to the business of opening a cafe, to learning latte art, is very well represented in this campus. Led by Willem and Valerian, this campus is a mecca for serious (and soon-to-be-serious) coffee pros. You can look far. You can look wide. But you cannot find a more knowledge-rich and engaging cadre of teachers in the coffee world. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

He was able to cover a lot of ground in a clear and concise manner, answering a broad spectrum of questions from participants who were all at different levels of skill.

Corpsmembers at CCNB simultaneously earn a paycheck, work toward their diploma, and receive supportive services. Four days each week are dedicated to paid job training on natural resources and zero waste projects, including fire fuel reduction, invasive species removal, trail maintenance, recycling collection, and much more. Members who have not yet graduated high school supplement this work experience through enrollment in John Muir Charter School, with class sessions in the evening and on Fridays, and work steadily toward their diploma. Additionally, all corpsmembers take part in CCNB’s Career Pathways programming, which includes one-on-one coaching, weekly skill development workshops, career exploration, and job placement support. This comprehensive suite of services acts as a launching pad for corpsmembers, preparing them to enter a living-wage career and become active members of the communities in which they live.

Michael provides clear instructions, quality equipment, and personalized advice to help you through the build process. Classes are flexible and he allows you to customize your project however you like. It makes the project feel much more personal! I took the cutting board class and he let me choose my materials (I chose walnut with maple), size of the board, and unique touches that I thought looked cool (rounded edges, handles). I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It's fun to say to be able to say that you built something with quality materials that is going to last for years! The class took about 4 hours which I thought was totally reasonable. And I walked out of there with a finished project that I could show off right away. The shop is easy to get to and Michael works with you on scheduling to make sure you complete your project in a timeframe that works for you. The whole thing is really easy convenient! I'm looking forward to returning and taking other classes!

I learned the proper a/k/a safe way to use: miter saw, jointer, planer, table saw, track saw, and router table all in one day. He's open for collaboration on future projects outside of the fixed classes, so when I come up with something that goes beyond any of my skills, we'll work together to design and execute. Awesome experience all around. Lesson learned: safe woodworking means no gloves and no long sleeves, so prepare to keep your core warm for sessions during the winter months.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about ABC Child Care and Enas!…read more As a first time mom, sending your infant child to daycare can be daunting. As a professional who works in pediatric healthcare/development, I wanted to make sure my son went to a loving environment that would enrich his developmental outcomes. ABC Child Care was just that. Enas is so kind and knowledgeable and truly made me feel at ease with sending my then 9 month old son into her care. My son has thrived in his development over the past year and I am so happy to have Enas and everyone at ABC Child Care as part of my "village" with raising my son. We are unfortunately moving out of the area and will miss ABC Child Care so much! If we move back before my son is school age, he will definitely be coming back here (if there is room :)). If you value a home environment and loving care for your infant/toddler, look no further!

They create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere that feels like extended family. My son is well fed and rested, and enjoys a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. He comes home exhibiting empathy for his siblings and saying "sorry" and "thank you" - which is so adorable and reassuring. The daycare's hours are very accommodating for working parents. They are open most of the year and provide ample notice for closures. As neighbors, the Marinwood location is incredibly convenient, making drop-offs and pick-ups a breeze. The price strikes me as competitive with nearby options, and they are flexible regarding contract schedule and drop-ins. The combination of a warm, familial environment, convenient hours, and an excellent location makes it an great choice - highly recommended!

The transition couldn't have been smoother, and now he walks (and often runs!) into school every morning excited and happy. The Sunnyside team is incredibly communicative and has done such a wonderful job nurturing his curiosity, skills, and creativity. I'm constantly amazed hearing about what he learned or experienced each day. He's now counting to 10 and has really developed a love for books and coloring, which has been so fun to watch. We also love the balance of outdoor play, classroom time, and shared meals with his classmates--it's been terrific for his development. We're already looking forward to having his younger sister join Sunnyside in the future. Sylvie does a great job keeping parents in the loop on what the kids are learning, singing, and working on as the seasons change. Our little guy absolutely loves Sunnyside--and so do we.

My son (first child) started her program at 1.5 years old and she made the transition smooth for him as it was his first time leaving home. He walks in every day by himself, happy and ready to start his morning! Her Montessori-based program is thoughtfully designed to foster focus, exploration, and curiosity during the most crucial toddler years. Her classroom is inviting and intentional, with developmentally-appropriate shelf works for various ages. The backyard is very spacious with an impressive array of climbing equipment, big sandbox, swings, cars and scooters, toys, slides, and an huge lush green lawn. The best part of the yard is the garden beds where the children help plant seeds and grow food which they later enjoy for lunch together. (I love that snack and lunch are included in tuition!) In a nutshell, Miss Sylvie's is a toddler's paradise, inside and out. It is where kind and gentle socialization happens, and where I trust my child's every need is being met. We love the other children and families we have met as well. Five stars all the way! Thank you for everything you do, Sylvie!!
